Chapter 39 Previous life<strong>39  Previous life</strong>


    <strong>[Physis''s POV]</strong>


    The great duel ended in vain as Rodenovs first warrior defeated all of Aidens warriors.


    Dird Aiden and n Aiden and all of Aidens family members were staring at the ground with unfocused eyes.


    All their wealth and glory were destroyed by the ugly words of their sessor.


    The stakeof the great duel was everything that Aiden and Rodenov possessed.


    The loser had to hand over everythingto the winner. Everything including estates andmercial districts.


    Even the castle they lived in.


    Thus the loser gives the winner everything they promised. This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and Aiden must uphold it.


    The moment the sentence fell, Dird knelt down and sighed.


    Ahh


    It''s done.


    Same with n Aiden. The malice and meanness he had harbored vanished with the sentencing, and he realized what he had done.


    He couldnt even imagine that everything would go like this.


    Now they will be on the streets, and the name Aiden had been downgraded to amoner.


    Where to live, what to eat, what to wear? Deprived of all of that, Aidens family will all end up begging in the streets in misery.


    Someone will get sick and die, and a life of noble was no longer possible.


    Since they were nowmoners, they could not treat carelessly even the nobles whom they usually looked down on.


    If they do, their necks would fly off.


    Really, everything was over.


    Aidens morous life, as well as life as an aristocrat, everything was now over.


    All that was left for them was a pitiful body to live on in dirty streets.


    Because of you. You  Ruined everything.


    Dird just said that and fainted.


    My lord!


    With a voice like a scream, n hoped that it was all just a dream.


    But  Rodenovs chilly coldness touched his skin and didnt even allow him to deny the reality.


    He is not breathing! Please, please anyone call a doctor!


    Gassols screamed and shouted at people, but no one called a doctor for them.


    Also, everyone who had been supporting Aiden turned their backs and diverted all their attention.


    Before long, the biting wind finally chilled Dirds breath and pronounced ns cruel sentence.


    This tragedy was just the beginning.

    <strong>[Physis''s POV]</strong>


    There was a festive atmosphere in Rodenov. Both His Excellency Johannes and Duchess udia did not hesitate to say that I had worked hard.


    My older brother, who hade to watch from Ortaire, saw me safely defeating Edith, briefly said that I had done well, and then went back to Ortaire alone, saying that he was busy.


    ording to the pact with Aiden, Aidens everything was given to Rodenov.


    That meant that everything that Aiden enjoyed, includingmercial rights, had be Rodenovs possession, and even Aidens territory in the center had be Rodenovs.


    His Excellency Johannes said that he would be busy for the time being due to the procedure and everything, but his expression was overflowing with joy.


    Sooner orter, several Rodenov administrators will move into Aidens territory.


    He was great. After all, he was the person who threw me into the snow.


    The knights, including Sir Lucas, began to praise me. In particr, in the eyes of most of the Rodenov knights who looked down on me, hostility had disappeared before I knew it, and a feeling of goodwill prevailed.


    Adilun, who came to me among them, said.


    Thank you for your hard work, Physis.


    Adilun.


    You were amazing. You must have seemed quite capable now


    I was lucky.


    However, the expression on her face when she told me I was amazing wasn''t as bright as it should be.


    It was the same worried expression I had seen on her before, during the jousting. The golden pupils darkened, and a deep mire could be seen in those eyes. Her fingertips tremble little by little, and she tried to curl them up and act calm.


    The feeling of fear and anxiety about something. Still, seeing her pretending to be determined as if she didn''t want to be found out by me, it wasn''t easy to ask her directly.


    ''What are you afraid of and anxious about?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    I drank and talked with Rodenov''s people at a small banquet held after settling various situations, and finally returned to the dorm andy down on the bed.


    But I was worried.


    All day long, the expression Adilun had floated before my eyes, and my thoughts without realizing that turned to it.


    It was the same during the banquet. Her forced smile, her anxious gestures, all of that  It messed up my vision.


    Even if I tried to find the reason, I couldnt figure it out at all, so in the end, I would have no choice but to ask her directly, but I couldnt even ask blindly because she didnt seem to want it.


    And I didnt want her to hate me.


    What I did to her was still holding me down.


    ''Ahhhh! What should I do?''


    I kept repeating my thoughts in search of an answer, but eventually, unable to find the answer, I had no choice but to surrender myself to the alcohol and fall asleep.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    I opened my eyes but my vision was blurry.


    A field of cold snow with nothing visible was in front of me. The biting wind swept through my skin apanied by a raging blizzard.


    ''Where is this?''


    I couldnt figure it out, but somehow I felt I had to move forward.


    In the middle of the endless snowfield, I moved forward.


    Without even knowing why I was moving, I walked endlessly.


    I didn''t know the time but something started to appear in front of me.


    Its shape was unclear. It looked like a person at first nce, but that was all I could tell. It was all enveloped in a ck mist, staring at me.


    [Hiiiii.]


    Caught in a fog, It spoke to me.


    You are Who are you?


    [Well. You guess.]


    Where is this? Im definitely in my dorm  ah.


    At that moment, I realized that this was a dream world.


    If so, maybe that person


    ''.''


    As I looked with conviction, it nodded.


    [Thats right. I I''m a fragment of your old personality that youre trying to suppress.]


    Hahaha. Its ridiculous.


    It was absurd. Why am I dreaming like this?


    [There is no need to be embarrassed. The reason you have this dream is simple.]


    What?


    [You want to know. Why is Adilun so anxious?]


    You  Do you know?


    [I know. But you dont know very well.]


    In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed. As if a puzzle was being put together one by one, the snowfields were scattered, and the world was fragmented It transformed into various sceneries.


    And in that sceneries, I


    I was looking at Adilun with contempt. The appearance I saw right after my reincarnation began to regenerate because of it.


    [Why is she anxious? The reason is so simple. The violence you show, the contemptuous nces you shoot at her, the hateful words you shoot at her. Because of all that She is anxious. Do you think that by pretending to be nice now, her scars will be erased? There is no way.]


    [Are you different from your previous life? Hahaha. No way. You were the same guy in your previous life. I said I am a fragment of your old personality. You were the same in your previous life. Haa look. This is what you look like.]


    Thendscape changed in the same way as before and an overly familiarndscape was revealed to my field of vision.


    The images of people being killed by strange monsters, and the image of the city begin stained with their blood.


    There, I was approaching a woman who was crushed by the rubble of a copsed building, screaming for help.


    Can anyone help! please


    Money?


    -


    Or is there something that could be a reward?


    -


    No?


    -Ahhh. Please, please save me!


    No money, no reward  If you dont have it, you must die.


    Having said that, I turned my back.


    [My previous life was different  Acted for good, finally saved the world  . hahaha. Its funny. Yes. Assuming you saved the world and all. But you turned away from so many people. All things that happened for years before you met that child.]


    [Even after doing that, your appearance shouting that you are pursuing goodness  Dont you think that its disgusting?]


    I couldnt say anything. Because what it said was true.


    [Why is Adilun afraid of you  Why does she feel insecure? The reason is simple. She knows That people dont change easily, she knows what kind of guy you are. Now, lets be honest.]


    Like a child, it demanded the truth from me.


    [Can you say that the thought of wishing Adilun happiness wasnt just to forget the disgusting things youve been doing?]


    No. I''m unmistakably sincere that I wished her happiness.


    [Lie.]


    Its not a lie.


    [No, its a lie! While wishing her happiness, you dont know what she likes or what makes her happy, none of it  You didnt even try to find out. You just matched what she was doing with what you saw in the scraps of a tree.]


    Words like des pierced my heart.


    [Now, are all the questions answered? Then...]


    In an instant, all sorts of hatred, anger, and disgust toward me began to appear on its face.


    [Get out of here.]


    At the same time, my consciousness was thrown into hell.
